not being able to cook is eerily similar to setting sail for fail

 

[dmaestro]

only thing I buy from TJ's is instant brown rice, eggs, wild salmon, and on some occassions their beef bulkogi or tri tip.

 

[Pen Is Mightier]

They make instant brown rice? How long does it take to cook? Mine takes forever.

it's like $1.40 a bag for 80 carbs, bad value IMO

Ten minutes for the ones I buy.

yeah, comes in a 3 bag per box in their frozen section.

takes 3 mins or so to cook

not to squabble over a few bucks here but at my TJ it's $2.89 for the box of 3 bags.

imo the trader joes frozen chicken bags are CRAP, like they get the scrap meat from foster farms and throw it in a bag.

the quality of the meat in either of the tender or breast bags are horrible.

I bought non-Foster Farms frozen chicken in a bag recently because it was cheap and they were covered in fat that I had to cut off and they really weren't as good. I now buy the Foster Farms frozen ones...they come in individual vacuum packed freezer bags and you get like 10 or so in a box. It's cheaper than buying the fresh ones packaged in 4-5 breasts/package and you get them in freezer bags.

 

[TheBoyWonder]

where do you get these "foster farms"

price difference? i'm poor and in college, i have to work a little harder just to save a couple bucks

edit: normally i just buy the costco bags and freeze them fuckers

 

[Pen Is Mightier]

werd, ya im in college too. paying my own way FTL.

The frozen ones are cheaper than the fresh ones, plus I am gonna freeze them anyway so having them in the individual bags makes it that much easier to freeze/thaw. They were ~$4.50/lb IIRC instead of the usual ~$6.00-$6.50/lb for fresh. I'll have to check next time I purchase though.

 

[niXon]

Costco has the best frozen chicken breasts by far.

 

[TheBoyWonder]

id go to costco but i dont have an account/i dont know where one is.

that being said i just go to a regular grocery store/trader joes

i <3 trader joes chicken and lime patties, their flax seed tortilla chips, and cheap drinks

 

[timberwolf]

[ralyks]

large srirachi sauce

I had an asian roommate for a while and I fell in love with this stuff.

Rice cooker = $40
10lb bag of rice = $10
Makes like unlimited servings of cheap cheap healthy rice + is practically 0 effort. Rice goes well with practically any sauce (or is great on it's own) so you can't get bored!
